I know some have called for a general "What to use a flawless battle stone on" thread, but as no one has yet started one, I will clutter with another family-specific thread.

I got a flawless Magic stone from Lydia Accoste this morning, and I am TORN over what to use it on. Fortunately, I got a rare Minfernal as my first minfernal tame, so I don't need it for that. I've found lots of people suggesting Jade Owl, but I don't really see what's so great about it--if anyone can enlighten me there, please do.

The Jade Owl is popular because it's magical (aquatics are weak against it) but has flying attacks (strong against aquatic). It's an effective counterpet to aquatic types, although I'm sure it's not an absolute gamebreaker.

Jade Owl is far and away the most useful of the magic types for the reasons given above. Enchanted Broom is fairly strong, however, and might be very useful come 5.2 against hard hitting beasts with the FFF getting nerfed to oblivion. Wind-up, plus magic family bonus to keep you from dying to Darnak's huge burrow/stone rush combo

I think logically you wanna use the stones on pets you didn't -catch- because in theory you can catch a rare one instead of using it but honestly it depends on which one you -want- to upgrade I used mine on my minifernal because I knew I was gonna level it at some point where as I'm not sure about the owl
